Rearrange the formula F = mg + ma for a.

draw out a triangle and then create three boxes inside by drawing a T. In each of the boxes you've created you need to put one of the letters from the equation. The equation you currently have is F= m*a. To rearrange this equation put the m and the a into the bottom boxes and the F above. Because there is a vertical line between the m and the a, this means you times them. If there is a horizonal line between two letters you divide them. So to find a, you must divide F by m.

Answer:


(F)/(m)-g=a

Explanation:

We are given that a formula F=ma+mg

We have to rearrange the given formula for a.

The given formula can be written as


F=m(a+g)

Divide by m on both sides then we get


(F)/(m)=a+g

Subtract g on both sides then we get


(F)/(m)-g=a+g-g


(F)/(m)-g=a

Therefore, the formula for a is given by


(F)/(m)-g=a
